Microbiology, sensory evaluation and shelf life of irradiated chicken breast fillets stored in air or vacuum

This work investigated the effects of different packaging methods (air and vacuum) combined with irradiation (0.0, 2.0 and 3.0 kGy) on the preservation of chicken breast fillets stored at 1ºC for up to 18 days by sensorial test, determination of pH and bacterial growth.
